Easy Christmas Centerpiece

Here is an easy way to dress up your dining-room table for the holidays!

Approximate Time: 10 minutes

Supplies:

discarded box
craft foam

artificial flowers/greenery
Christmas paper
Christmas ribbon

Instructions:

A recycled shoe box being used for the Christmas centerpiece.

Take an empty box (I used a shoebox, see photo) and cut a square in top to accommodate a piece of floral craft foam. Wrap the box in pretty Christmas paper, cutting out square in top of box again to insert foam. Tape Christmas ribbon around box.

Insert piece of craft foam (see photo, I cut my first hole too large, and had to use pieces to fit snugly). Assembling the Christmas centerpiece.

Then, using 97 cent Christmas poinsettas and some Dollar Tree pieces of fake cedar garland, arrange your centerpiece! I have used these as centerpieces for our Church Christmas Banquet for each table, and the cost is very nominal, as I purchased flowers, ribbon, wrap, and greenery at the Dollar store!
